Chapter III. The sword asks the Northern Yan 289.The Tree of Mercy

Shen Gui didn't need to ask in detail at all, Yuan Delin, who was quite anxious, had already automatically and spontaneously told all the news he knew or heard; Even many of the little black tents of his grandfather and brother-in-law were secretly written down by this unlucky child and hidden under the blue bricks and stones in front of the stove at home. However, such a chattering confession really helped him successfully pick up a small life.

It turned out that on the night of Fu Yi's death in Xilin City, he and the bookkeeper in the family of the master and brother-in-law were not in the city. These two dogs who eat inside and outside are in a familiar country shop outside Xilin City all day long, and there are countless villagers and drunkards who can help them testify.

Shen Gui wanted to take off his head, and he could do it anytime and anywhere; Moreover, his alibi is very easy to verify, so he is also willing to believe Yuan Delin's defense. After getting the news he wanted, Shen Gui quickly swung a hand knife at his carotid artery; Then he looked at this Yuan Team, and before falling asleep, he pulled out a reassuring smile......

In the afternoon of the next day, nearly 100 villagers from Dajiangjia Village returned home from neighboring villages with the help of the old and the young. Village Chief Jiang is a person who understands, he first sent a fast-legged descendant to look at the entrance of the village for a long time, and found that the two hundred arrogant and domineering Qiu Ba were no longer there, only the cups and plates in the place last night were still in the courtyard.

Village Chief Jiang sighed, looked back at a middle-aged woman with a wide waist and a strong body, and said:

"Tiger head damn it, you concubines will have a little more trouble. After a while, I cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and then went to the outside of the donkey shed at the entrance of the village to burn a few knives of yellow paper; In addition to driving away bad luck, he also chattered to the land grandfather, don't let this group of dogs harm our big Jiangjia Village......"

The stout woman answered, beckoned to the other sisters, rolled up her sleeves, and began a great cleaning. And the village chief Jiang, who had just broken a fortune, sighed and returned to his home to check the losses. Pushing open the door, he found that there was nothing to lose in his house, except that the smell of alcohol had not dissipated, there was nothing unusual. Village Chief Jiang pushed open the window, and the warm afternoon sun spilled in through the cracks, and the corners of his eyes were suddenly shaken by something......

Hey, there are ten taels of silver ingots on the kang table!

After carefully observing it, Village Chief Jiang hurriedly stuffed the silver ingots to stop bleeding into his arms; Then he just wanted to get out of bed and go out to call his wife, but he was scratched by the stubble of wood along the kang with a bloody mark. At the moment of getting rich, he didn't bother to care about this skin injury, he just thought that his wife was old and his eyes were poor, and the scissors were off when he was working......

After going out for a walk, he found that although each house was a little messy, they had left a silver ingot; Village Chief Jiang's happy mouth couldn't close together, and he sighed with emotion, "Grandpa the land has appeared, and the God of Wealth has blessed...... All in all, so much silver could never be left behind by those soldiers who often came and went, and Village Chief Jiang still had great trust in the moral level of these people.

"Village Chief! Chief! Something is lost in the village! ”

When the village chief Jiang was smiling and imagining the future with the villagers, the tiger head lady who was burning paper at the entrance of the village suddenly let out a scream like killing a pig! The big guy hurriedly followed the sound, and saw the tiger head girl standing outside the donkey shed at the entrance of the village, pointing to a row of nails on the wall, and said with a panicked expression:

"Look, village chief, all the trays of hemp rope that I bought back to tie the donkey have been lost! These little quacks are in a hurry to hang themselves by stealing so many ropes? ”

Village Chief Jiang was dizzy with anger by her fussed appearance, stretched out his hand and pointed at the tiger head mother trembling for a long time, and reluctantly said two words:

"Fuck off!"

At the same time, twenty miles north of Dajiangjia Village, a young man had just woken up in the middle of a wasteland. This person's real name is Yuan Xiaosan, and the big name is Yuan Delin, and he is a team leader in the Xilin City Guard Camp. He just recently took a big job, to send the corpse of a spy from Youbei into Beijing to sell the case; His grandfather and brother-in-law told him that as long as this errand was completed, he could guarantee him an incomparably great future.

Yuan Xiaosan, who woke up from a coma, sat up, first touched his stiff and sore neck, took a deep breath and twisted left and right, and the neck bone immediately made a few crisp sounds. It still hurts a little, but there is nothing wrong with the movement.

He carefully recalled the unreal conversation after he was drunk last night, and he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality for the time being. He cautiously turned his head, looked left and right, and found himself in the middle of a wilderness. In this case, he immediately confirmed that the attack in his memory was not a drunken dream, and he survived by luck with his three-inch tongue.

In addition to his self-confidence, he also did not forget to secretly praise the gang of bandits for knowing the rules of the rivers and lakes, and doing things decently and exquisitely.

He crawled up with his neck that seemed to be a pillow, carefully discerned the direction, and found that this wilderness was not far from the big Jiangjia village where he had settled last night. The 200 brothers in the garrison are still in the village, and they can't wait for their own ruler to continue their journey! Although his life hung by a thread last night, he is still alive and well now; I have to live the days to come, and I have to continue to do errands. So he stood up and swept the dust from his shirt and trousers in circles......

Yuan Xiaosan had just turned around twice, and suddenly he was planted headlong into the cracked soil! His nose and forehead were covered with rough gravel and several bloody marks, but he didn't care at all, and quickly got up and looked back.

The scene that came into view, from this glance, was firmly imprinted in the depths of his soul, and the fear that penetrated deep into the bone marrow followed him like a shadow until death.

Less than twenty paces away in front of him, there was a large locust tree that was full of ten people's arms. The roots of this big locust tree should be almost dead, and there are not a few leaves hanging on the whole tree, and it looks extremely bleak; However, on each relatively thick and sturdy branch, there hung the corpses of several men, the corpses of the dead bodies wearing the uniforms of the Xilin Mansion Guards, swaying from side to side in the direction of the breeze. From a distance, it seems that this almost dead locust tree has produced plump and full humanoid fruits, showing this bumper harvest to the Yuan team opposite......

Yes!!!

Yuan Xiaosan sat on the wasteland with his buttocks, his feet desperately pushing forward the soil, and his body moved back a few steps away! After the fear reached the extreme, the soft legs surged with an inexplicable force, and he quickly stood up, as if he was a seven or eight-year-old boy who had annoyed the mad dogs in the village, and ran desperately in the opposite direction! Even if he fell on the road, it didn't stop him at all; Even if you lose an official boot, you don't know anything about it. Yuan Delin just wanted to leave the fruitful locust tree behind him as soon as possible and run as far as possible......

Since that day, the Yuan family has never eaten sausages again.

At the same time, Shen Gui and his party had also climbed the Guling Mountain outside Xilin City. According to ancient legends, on this small hill with dense vegetation, the tomb of an ancient sage is buried.

Although Qi Yan was born as a snitch, those skills of turning over corpses were not difficult for him at all, but he was not proficient. After he explored the direction of the mountain left and right, he said to Shen Gui, who was holding an urn:

"Brother, I see that the feng shui here is good, otherwise when we are done, let the four of them rest here, right?"

Shen Gui gently stroked the white porcelain urn in his arms, looked at the direction of Xilin City in the distance, and said softly:

"There is an old rule in the Taibai Iron Army: if any of his brothers die in battle, they can only be buried after helping them kill their enemies. No monuments shall be erected, no plaques shall be erected, no names shall be left and no worships shall be made. The ashes will either be sprinkled in the wilderness and lonely mountains, or mixed into the rivers, lakes and seas, and the ancestral heroic spirits of the Taibai Iron Army will be waiting for their arrival there. This ancient mausoleum mountain is the mausoleum of the ancient sages, how can we occupy other people's homes? ”

Qi Yan nodded after listening, and said no more. Lu Fang also carried a long bag at this time, walked to Shen Gui and sat down:

"It's going to be dark, but do you really have to do it tonight? The previous prefect had just been assassinated, and Xilin City at this time must be very heavily guarded. Of course, in terms of your skill, no matter how many Heavenly Machine Crossbows there are, they can't pose any threat at all; If you just want to go into the city to vent your anger, then I won't advise you; But if you're going to take three bodies with you, it's definitely not going to be easy! ”

Shen Gui knew what he meant, but he still shook his head and didn't say anything more. The three of them looked at Xilin City in the distance in silence, waiting for night to fall.

Suddenly, Shen Gui gently put the urn in his hand aside, pulled out the Chunyu Long Sword with his backhand, got up and strode forward.

"Shen Gui? It's not dark yet! Why are you going? “

"There's a guest coming, don't you see?"

Shen looked back at the two of them in a sullen manner, and found that the night blindness of the two of them seemed to be sick again, and they all shook their heads at themselves with doubt.

"He's now climbing the steps up the mountain...... He's up the tree! The third tree on the left! The sixth tree on the right! It's so obvious that you two can't see it? ”

Even though Qi Yan was from a family of Orion and grew up in the woods since he was a child, he still shook his head when he gave Shen Gui's answer.

Shen Gui sighed, gave up continuing the dispute with him, looked at Lu Fang, who was also inexplicable, and said with good words:

"You two will be awake when you go out at night, eat more wolfberries, liver and the like, go to bed early and get up early......

Just when Shen Gui was popularizing night blindness to the two, a leaf fell from a tree behind him, and a man's voice, carrying an extremely subtle sound of breaking the wind, fell from the sky behind Shen Gui:

"Shen Gui, I haven't seen you for many days, it's always been a good ......"

Swish!
